Summary: The Military Affairs and Border Security Committee met for its final meeting of the year and approved the minutes from March 16, 2026. The committee then heard House Bill 2960, which would create a Veterans Specialty Court grant program and Veterans Treatment Court Fund, support local veterans court programs, and require coordination between the Department of Corrections and the Department of Veterans Services to identify incarcerated veterans and share information about benefits and services. Representative Travers described the bill as a way to expand diversion and treatment options for veterans dealing with issues such as PTSD, substance use, and reintegration challenges, and a veteran treatment court graduate testified that the program helped him achieve long-term sobriety and stability. Members spoke in strong support, and HB 2960 received a 6-0 do-pass recommendation with one member not voting. The committee also heard House Bill 2620, which would appropriate $300,000 annually for five years to the Arizona Department of Veterans Services for grants to emergency shelters serving homeless veterans, including Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS). Testimony from CASS explained that the funds would support dedicated veteran case managers, flexible assistance, and faster placement into permanent housing, while a veteran who had stayed at CASS described the shelter’s veteran-specific services and how they helped him begin recovery. Members emphasized the need to address veteran homelessness and the importance of trauma-informed support, and HB 2620 also passed on a 6-0 do-pass recommendation with one member not voting.

Summary: The Commerce and Tourism Committee met with all members present and took up three bills. On Senate Bill 1562, as amended by a strike-all, Senator Trumbull explained that the measure would apply only to new vehicle brands and would limit any one dealer or dealer group to no more than one-third of statewide sales after a brand reaches 1,000 vehicles in Florida, with the stated goal of promoting competition and preventing manufacturers from concentrating sales through a single dealer. The committee adopted the amendment and then reported the bill favorably. Senator Smith later asked to be recorded in the negative on this bill, and Senator Yarbrough asked to be recorded in the affirmative on SB 1562 and SB 888. The committee then heard Senate Bill 888 by Senator Martin, which would limit professional services contracts for architects, engineers, surveyors, and landscape architects so they are liable only for their own negligence or that of those under their supervision, extend those protections from public to private contracts, void broader indemnity clauses, require a professional standard of care, and prohibit additional-insured requirements. There was no debate or opposition, and the bill was reported favorably. Finally, Senator Garcia presented Senate Bill 1516 on caller identification information, citing the volume of robocalls and fraud losses among older adults. The bill would prohibit misleading caller ID practices, require telecommunications companies to provide accurate originating number and location information, create penalties for violations, and require STIR/SHAKEN authentication or a comparable framework. Two appearance forms were filed in support from the Elder Law Section of The Florida Bar and AARP, and Senator Smith voiced support during debate. The committee reported the bill favorably. The meeting concluded with closing remarks and adjournment.
